North Korea fired a ballistic missile into the East Sea today (14th), the Joint Chiefs of Staff said.
Military authorities are analyzing parameters such as range, altitude, and speed.
North Korea fired a ballistic missile right after making a threatening flight south of the tactical action line with about 10 military aircraft from about 10:30 last night to about 0:20 this morning.
North Korean military aircraft extend from the inland area south of the Tactical Measure Line to the 5km north of the no-fly zone (25km north of the Military Demarcation Line) established according to the September 19 military agreement, and 7km north of the no-fly zone (47km north of the MDL) in the eastern inland area. ), in the West Sea area, each approached 12 km north of the Northern Limit Line (NLL) and then headed north, and our military responded by sortieing F-35A, etc.
It seems to be resuming provocations following the launch of a long-range strategic cruise missile into the West Sea from the Gaecheon area in Pyeongnam on the 12th (the 12th).
North Korea fired ballistic missiles seven times from the 25th of last month to the 9th of last month, and after announcing on the 10th that these launches were 'training of a tactical nuclear operation unit' and led by General Secretary Kim Jong-un, on the 10th, North Korea launched another provocation.
General Secretary Kim said on the map, "I do not feel the need to talk to the enemy. We will strengthen the nuclear combat force in every way," the Korean Central News Agency reported.
The training of the tactical nuclear operation unit was a total of six submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) and short-range ballistic missile (SRBM) launches during this period.
On the 4th, an intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) presumed to be an improved version of the Hwasong-12 was launched with the maximum range, recording a flight range of 4,500 km.
North Korea claims that it has demonstrated its ability to "disappear strikes as much as desired, at the desired time, at the desired place, and at the targeted targets through the seven firing drills of the tactical nuclear operation units," and attack 'anytime, anywhere'. It revealed the intention that it could be done.
The latest provocations were the arrival of the US nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Ronald Reagan (CVN-76, 103,000 tons) in Busan on the 23rd of last month, the South Korea-US joint maritime exercise on the 26th-29th, the South Korea-US-Japan anti-submarine warfare exercise on the 30th, and the last 5th. It was a protest against the aircraft carrier turnaround and the South Korea-U.S.-Japan missile defense exercise on the 6th.
North Korea has launched ballistic missiles 24 times and cruise missiles 3 times this year.
It is the 13th missile launch since the Yun Seok-yeol administration took office.
